Annie and Nunu's 'pets'

Why are Annie and Nunu allowed to bring the yeti and Tibbers into League matches with them? Is there no League rule on how many autonomous creatures can be brought in as a single 'champion', or are Nunu and Annie exceptions to League rules? The latest JoJ indicates that the yeti is a citizen of Freljord, so at least Nunu seems to be a two-in-one champion.

Well Tibbers (from my understanding) is just Annie's stuffed bear animated and transformed into a gigantic fiery bear because of her magic. For Annie to not be allowed to bring Tibbers is like asking Yi to leave his sword behind.

As for Nunu and the yeti, perhaps the two are only strong together, otherwise as individuals, they would not be able to join the league. I'd say that maybe Nunu is the brains of the operation and the yeti is the brawn.

Annie's bear is magical by nature. From what I understand, he's not an entirely real bear.

As for Nunu...well, Nunu himself does no fighting. He just sits on his yeti's back, so it's likely Nunu himself isn't counted as a combatant.

Nunu throws the ice ball.

I'm not sure why this is a large deal. Mordekaiser enslaves a shadow copy of others to do his bidding, yet he's counted as one champion. Malzahar calls in creatures from the Void. I think Nunu and Willump blur the line of "what is a champion" but the two have been inseperable for years. They might as well be one person.
